And now for something completely different

[Pablo]

Planning on the pre Fall/Winter oil change on the 2006 Ody with the usual 0W-20 ASM this weekend. Thing is, I sold the whole case yesterday. That's OK I'll use XLM 5W-20.....well short story long, all I have is 3 quarts of XLM. Bummer. I could use SSO 0W-30. Hmmm.....mix in 2 quarts of WCT 10w30 with the XLM to make my 5 quarts. Throw on a Mann filter. Good to go.

You shouldn't mix oils like that. My grand daddy told me so.

I know a couple of Amsoil dealers that will sell you either of those oils in lots big enough to do an Ody oil change.

Yeah, he could always run down to WM and pick up a couple quarts of PP 5w20.

That's why grand dad said not to mix oils!

 

[dave123]

Or go to Wal Mart get 5QT of PP for 20$ and save the headache and money

 

[Pablo]

What headache? All good!

 

[dave123]

I would think a big time dealer would have more than a case of oil around.

No sense holding a lot of inventory. Portland warehouse isn't that far away. I always have ASL, ATM, AME and DEO. Growing demand for ASM, yeah I should starting keeping at least a case.

 

[dave123]

I have more Amsoil on hand than a dealer now that's cool.

 

[Pablo]

Not so sure about that. How much do you have?

I have 3 cases of MCV, 2 MCF, 2 TDR, 2 ATP and one each of SVT/SVG/SVO/MTF/MTG and 3 cases of ATF. And a bunch of cases of ASL, ATM, AME and DEO as mentioned. Plus a case of AMO.

 

[dave123]

What no HDD

 

[Pablo]

Yeah 2 cases of qts, and 2 cases of 2X2.5 gallons, but the guy is picking those up Tuesday.

How much oil do you have?

 

[daman]

what no interceptor? your slipping it's getting cold here in the northern states. haha

i got 15 gals...lol

 

[dave123]

I am a DIY and have over 10 Amsoil products including a case of HDD this is on top of products from RL PP M1EP GC SF I don't buy cheap oil or Beer for that matter. I know you think I bash Amsoil I do not just some Rec. I run them in my equipment from small to large and cherry pick the best lube from all around.

 

[Pablo]

I just sold my last two quarts of Interceptor, so you got me there!

 

[dave123]

I gave my only opend gallon of interceptor last fall to my friend wondering what he should run in his snowmobile I only wanted him to have the best.

 

[Patman]

Why don't you just wait until next week to do it and get the oil you really wanted to run in it in the first place?

I have been mixing two Amsoils for several years now, My Buick 3.8L SC (10W30 recommended)sounds better on a 50-50 mix of Amsoil 5W30 Series 3000 and 10W40) In fact, may switch to that mix for another car that is currently on 10W30.
